I'm curious as to how many great methods there are out there to vary the preparation of fresh vegetables.
Go ahead...play with your food!

If it's an option, I'd rather them raw. if it's a root vege like potato, roasted. If I can't have it raw and it's not a root vege, stir fried very fast so as to preserve crunch and nutrients.

My all time cooking hate is limp, boiled vegetables.
kai time!

i like stir-fried or steamed so that they are still crisp, as kiwi said. raw is fine, too, but i usually like the addition of some flavour.
 
for potatoes, i prefer mashed, but roasted is fine, too, and my preferred way for other root veggies. if they are boiled longer than a few short minutes, then i don't want them.
 
for any veggie, grilled over a flame is always a good option! i don't like canned vegetables, so either fresh or frozen is how i prefer to buy them, if i can't grow my own.

All are good, even plain old boiled. That's pretty much how one eats home canned green beans right? So, it's all in the prep-work, the flavors you put in the canning and when you are boiling.
